This tour takes you through the Masai Mara National Reserve. Masai Mara, which means “spotted ” in the local Maasai language, is one of the most visited and most famous national reserves in Kenya. The journey takes you to experience the natural thrill of being in an African savanna. With luck on your side, you will definitely see all the Big Five animals such as lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants, and rhinos. It’s most famous for the annual wildebeest migration that happens from June to October.
Day 1: Masai Mara National Reserve
You will be picked up by our driver guide from your hotel or airport in Nairobi and driven to the world-famous Masai Mara with a brief stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch and check in. In the afternoon, enjoy an enthralling game-viewing drive. Spotting lions, cheetahs, and other spectacular predators is the highlight of your day (if luck is on your side). This evening, enjoy a sumptuous dinner at your lodge.
Day 2: Masai Mara National Reserve
On this day, you can choose to go on a full-day game drive in the Mara with a picnic lunch or morning and afternoon game drives. Between the game drive, an optional visit (payments direct) to the local Maasai village can be done. The trees in the distance might turn out to be a family of giraffes. Those clumps of bushes can turn into a pride of lions, and the rock that moves a rhino lumbering out of your way. With diligence and some luck, you may encounter a family of cheetahs or a herd of elephants crossing the path in front of you. Large animals are not the only entertainment—a family of warthogs may amuse you, running as fast as their little legs will carry them until they forget why they are rushing and stop to regroup. You will have dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 3: Departure
This is the last day of your safari, at least for now. We still welcome you back to enjoy an African safari with us again. After breakfast, you shall drive back to Nairobi for lunch, and thereafter you shall be dropped off at the airport or hotel of choice. End of services.
